Summary/Abstract: After the end of World War II, the Evangelical-Union Church ceased to exist in East Prussia. The Evangelical-Augsburg Church of Poland became its legal heir. Since 1945, the Lutheran parish of Szczytno was pastored by priests of Polish nationality. The first pastor of the parish was Rev. Jerzy Sachs, who came from a multi-generational pastoral family. He ministered in Szczytno from 1945 to 1951. The succeeding pastor was Rev. Alfred Jagucki. He came to Szczytno from Sorkwity. Besides his pastoral work in the parish, he held the office of senior minister of the Masurian Diocese from 1958 to 1963. Rev. Henryk Ćmok served as the successive pastor of the Lutheran parish in Szczytno. He held the ministry for seven years.
